A founder publicly thanks Menlo Ventures, which participated in her company's $3M seed round and later doubled down by leading a big Series A. She notes multiple Menlo partners have helped "like they are all in" since day one through ups and downs, arguing that smart portfolio construction and unwavering commitment can co-exist. Menlo's Mike Murphy responded that being all in as a team is the firm's only way, and that commitment helped create the option to lead her next round.
